DEH connects world hunger, fair trade

By HANNAH SIMON | October 30, 2006

Approximately 100 Dartmouth students showed up to sample and view a variety of free fair trade products at the first Fair Trade Halloween in Collis Cafe on Saturday. The event, sponsored by Dartmouth Ends Hunger, displayed products ranging from bananas to Ecuadorian chocolate to homemade jewelry, in an initiative to encourage Dartmouth Dining Services to supply more fair trade products. Despite rainy weather and minimal advertising, the turnout was "pleasantly surprising," Jonathan Merten '09, organizer of the event, said. The non-profit organization also recruited several speakers from the Ecuadorian fair trade cooperative Kaillaire to discuss the importance of localized farming on the economic welfare of developing countries. "We're trying get people excited about fair trade coffee and chocolate," Merten said.

A Wake-Up Call

By Shaun Stewart | October 30, 2006

Last week, President Bush signed into law the Military Commissions Act of 2006. This sweeping legislation gives the president unprecedented power to wage the "war on terror," disregard the Geneva convention and gut the Constitution. One of the main components of the bill allows the president to suspend the writ of habeas corpus for any non-citizen he deems an "enemy combatant." For anyone unfamiliar with habeas corpus, it is essentially the Constitutional concept that says that the government cannot imprison people for long periods of time without charging them with a crime and allowing them to come before a judge.
